A sound collage video called The Esperanto Group – X Minus One Mix
My thoughts while creating this sound collage involved the idea of leaving planet earth on an endless journey and all the new ways of living a person would have to adjust to… it would be like learning a new language for me.
Esperanto
Esperanto is the International Language invented in 1887 for the purpose for promoting World Peace through better communication.
Esperanto is an invented language and is not based on any particular nation or tribe’s native language. Thus it is considered a neutral language for International dialogue.
Sound Collage and Podcast
This sound collage was mixed on January 18, 2011 – Listen or download the sound collage here:

Introducing a new original sound collage video from UFOverdriver called:
Dystopia (Is The New Utopian Dream)
About This Video
The thought on my mind while creating this was – how easy it is for a State to slide into Fascism when people with good intentions are motivated by fear.
Video collage material created from samples of Frank Capra’s Why We Fight World War II propaganda film.
Music and Video by UFOverdriver (ufoverdriver.com) and Jon, onehumanbeing (onehumanbeing.com)

Welcome to a new sound collage adventure from UFOverdriver.
This is a densely-layered space odyssey that involves new and experimental techniques in sound collage creation… headphones are recommended for optimum immersion.
Listen: Time Minus One: A Space Odyssey Mix
Part I – The Launch
Our journey begins with a three track group of collages composed of original recorded material by UFOverdriver mixed alongside a loop from the classic Sheep by Pink Floyd, which is joined in track three with a loop from Aztec Camera’s version of Jump.
Overlaid on the tracks are recordings from various Apollo missions, a speech by Sen. Barack Obama on the campaign trail, short clips from Wall Street and Star Wars Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and other stuff…
The overall direction of The Launch is to reflect on the promises that were presented to us, the voters, by Senator Barack Obama while on the campaign trail in early 2008.
Part II – The Space Odyssey
12 Minutes and 44 seconds into the collage The Space Odyssey begins…
The next 6 tracks were constructed using the audio from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which I downloaded from YouTube in thirteen parts of approximately ten and a half minutes each.
I took the audio from selected parts (tracks 4 through 6 used parts 12, 11 , 9, 13, and 1 – while tracks 7 through 9 used parts 10, 5, 6, 8, and 7 – see graphic below) and stacked them in layers in my mixer. Then I played around with the volume of the various layers while applying various effects to create “chance” loops of sounds.
Graphic Below: The “mix view” from Adobe Audition 3, the program I use to create my sound collages. The area displayed shows the two “stacks” of 2001: A Space Odyssey audio clips, with the volume control levels for each clip.
Included in The Space Odyssey is several extensive sound clips from philosopher Alan Watts. I offer no opinion at this point on Alan Watts ideas and concepts, I just liked the sound of his voice and the pacing of his speech. You can find out more about Alan Watts here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Watts.
Part II – The Space Odyssey is deliberately and delightfully trippy – for best results try listening to this mix with headphones on…
